11 excellent PlayStation 3 games are now playable on your PS4, right now!

PlayStation has announced that another 11 cracking titles have joined their wildly successful PlayStation Now service.

"With the Hollywood awards season kicking off this week with the Oscar nominations, what better time to celebrate some of the highlights from the PlayStation 3 generation by welcoming their Game of the Year editions to the burgeoning PS Now library." reads a new post on the PlayStation Blog.

For anyone not in the know, the PlayStation Now is Sony’s streaming service that allows you to play PlayStation 3 (or older) games on your PS4 on a rental or subscription basis.

It functions in much the same way as Netflix or Spotify but for games rather than TV series, music or movies and will set subscribers back £12.99 a month.

Effectively this is Sony's answer to the PS4's lack of a backwards compatibility feature, which has so far proved incredibly popular for Xbox One users.
